Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Biostatistics
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Additive models offer flexibility in regression by accommodating both linear and non-linear terms, often using smoothing splines for the latter.
  • Additive mixed models extend these capabilities to handle clustered or longitudinal data by incorporating random effects.
  • These models are crucial for analyzing repeated measurements in fields like human growth, disease mechanisms, and energy expenditure studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel additive mixed model specifically designed for quantile regression.
  • To address the need for advanced statistical methods in analyzing complex, clustered datasets with non-linear patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a new additive mixed model framework for quantile regression.
